The summer is ending and a year has gone by. Oh no, my dear Stefano Rota and Stefano Righi (otherwise known as the Musical duo of the Righeria), your summer song from the 80s which torments our conversations from the end of August to the end of September, is a huge lie. Why? To make it to the end of the year we are still missing three months and two numbers of The Mag, including the one you are reading. […]
By Helena Palazzoli Hi Lenny it is lovely to meet you and it is a pleasure to have you in Città di Castello. I hope you had a safe trip? «Yes, Yes thank you. Thank you for having us». After the worldwide success of your song Hell.o, who are you today and what projects are you currently working on? «An interesting question ‘who are you’, I am still trying to figure that out! Quite a lot! I guess I am […]
Last Saturday, June 30th, the Civitella Ranieri Foundation opened their regal space to the public, rich with history and, for this occasion, enhanced with activities directed towards giving back an unedited image. The 11th century castle was in fact, the location for Casting the Castle, a project that was conceived and developed by Saverio Verini, born out of the desire to sensitise the view and perception of the public about this small heritage of works, offering at the same time […]
I see my first editorial a little like this. A semi dark room. Many chairs around my chair. Every place is taken. The light is on me. And I say, “Hi, I’m Andrea”. And you all “Hi Andrea”. This to say that from today on I will feel a little more observed than usual, that I will tell of myself and I will tell stories, of people and much more. In other words, we will read each other often. Because […]
When I arrived in June 2013, The Mag had just been born. I didn’t know what I would have done and what direction we would have taken: it was about a new challenge for everyone. From that day we published more than 30 numbers. After 5 years I can say that it has been an important experience: fun moments, others difficult. I’ve met hundreds and hundreds of people, told interesting stories, thanks to the vocation of this magazine: give value […]
Burridocumenta is a new word that adds a multimedia piece to the already wide and unique museum of the master’s art in Città di Castello: an entire wing with hundreds and hundreds of images, information, photographs and interesting facts, on touch screens and interactive media. This is the third cover we dedicate to Burri in three years, in the wake of a very long centennial which now opens a virtual dimension, allowing visitors, but also students, to truly immerse themselves […]
Matteo Casilli is a young Roman photographer who has done something so simple that no one had thought of before: put the characters of the Italian music scene against the wall, get a camera and take portraits in black and white (261 of them!) to then make a book, beautiful, which is called “Musician“ by Andrea Luccioli Then those from Marvis Labl arrived, discographic label and artistic laboratory, who thought well to print Matteo’s project. It seems that this thing […]
The idea was to have a house on two levels, but able to be used as if it were only one. At a stone’s throw from the city walls, in the beginning the liveable spaces were developed on one floor, where a living area was created, while the attic which was a loft, changed its look, becoming a bedroom. All of it was patterned after an idea of continuity in shapes, materials and colors, where white respects them all, diminishing […]
Let them eat caos: it is a disc, it is a poem, a poem to read out loud, as the author asks at the beginning of the book. Kate Tempest and her band have brought their work around all over the world, including the triumphal concerts at the latest Glastonbury festival and the Primavera Sound in Barcelona. And yet it all started with Civitella Ranieri, from our area, much earlier than Glastonbury and Barcellona: it is there that in 2015, […]
At the Di Donna Gallery in Manhattan, the success of the fabric of the Tiferno artist in his first American retrospective by Giuseppe Sterparelli There is little blue in the New York selection by Germano Celant in exhibition at the new and very active gallery of Emmanuel Di Donna; that of Cuciti a Macchina (Machine Sewn) by Nuvolo, poetic alter ego of Giorgio Ascani (1926/2008), which is a material sky, still grey in places, it is the horizon of tangible […]
The strong point of this place is the view of the landscape, and to make sure that it is the true protagonist of the house, thanks to the large openings to the outdoors, the owners wanted essential and minimal furnishings to which they matched some elements of traditional furniture, with colors that are in harmony with the tone of the structure of the house. To make the country house more contemporary with its traditional structure in stones and wood beams, […]
